Posted on 2026-02-16 by jcs

Weather Alert

The wannabe hurricane known as tropical storm Elsa is due at the Irreal bunker later tonight. It’s currently on the line between tropical storm and hurricane but in either case the winds will likely be high enough to cause potential … Continue reading →

I’ve been under the weather most of the day and am only now beginning to feel better so there will be no (substantive) post today.

Irreal Problems

Posted on 2021-02-06 by jcs
